[QUOTE="shawn mcjunkin, post: 1787746, member: 111309"] I know people will think I'm an idiot but asking this anyway. Looking for anyone that has used these dies and can help me. I am getting ready to purchase dies, and I have decided to use the redding dies. I am a hunter, but I do like to practice longer shots and have a range to 800yrds. I am choosing between 2 die sets. The type S match bushing FL die set or the master hunter 2 die set for 28nos, 25-06, a 270 win. The debate is I like the idea of being able to set a chosen neck tension, and being able to fl size and bump shoulder with out continuously working the neck or even touching it if want to make modified cases. If the expander is removed, I can just use the bushing to set the neck size by .001 increments based on bushing decreasing the work on the brass neck. The only issue with that is that if any imperfections are in the brass, it will be left inside and may cause inaccuracy issues when seating bullet. The master hunter series will do the job, but the hang up is that when trying to adjust to get a correct shoulder bump that piece of brass is worked multiple time decreasing the life. Both of these sets have the same seater so that's not an issue. Random question. Reading several different articles(i don't believe everything i read) some say crimp, some say no need to crimp on bolt action rounds because the neck tension will do the job. Do any of these rounds require crimping since these dies do not do this. I don't know. Thanks in advance for advice, remember someone explained things to you before you became guru's (ha ha)!
